If this person then goes and tells others of the conversation he overheard in order to cause trouble for them, then his sin of spying is compounded by another sin, as the Prophet(SAW) said:
"The eavsdropper will not enter Paradise."[Bukhari, see Fath al-Bari, 10/472].
"The eavsdropper will not enter Paradise."[Bukhari, see Fath al-Bari, 10/472].
"O you who believe! avoid most of suspicion, for surely suspicion in some cases is a sin, and do not spy nor let some of you backbite others. Does one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? But you abhor it; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, surely Allah is Oft-returning (to mercy), Merciful." Quran 49:12
"Whoever listens to people's conversations without their permission will have molten lead poured into his ears on the Day of Resurrection."[At-Tabrni in al-Kabeer, 11/248-249; see also Saheeh al-Jami', hadith no. 6004]
